Largest Global Alumni Gathering ever
Every year around 25 May, alumni come together wherever they live to celebrate the date the University received Royal Assent in 1900 - in essence, Birmingham's Birthday!
Around 600 graduates from 33 cities in 20 different countries hosted their own events for fellow alumni near them; from tea parties and dinners to afternoon activities and dancing.
Highlights included seven events in China, new alumni associations being formed in India, Rwanda and London, and many countries holding their first gathering.
